I finally managed to contact a US station (KP4BME) yesterday with 10 Watts on 20 meters. The propagation is just beautiful nowadays.
As for the special event stations I'll be running, the callsigns TC150HP and TC150DD have been approved. I expect to setup the antenna on Monday and start calling CQ on Tuesday as TC150HP from Haydar Pasha train station. I'll be on the air between 30 May and 30 June, mainly after 14:00Z until the time I get tired or XYL starts shouting on the phone, which ever is earlier ;-) However I may not be able te get on the air everyday. So, do look out. I intend to call at frequencies around 7.092 and 14.270, if they are available, since these are the national calling freq.s I expect to be on 20 and 40 m mainly but I might give other bands a try, too, to make good use of the propagation. I'll probably be using a Yaesu FT-857, since my K2 lacks the 100W option. However, I am just too fond of the K2, so you never know ;-) Hope to meet you on the air. 73! deTA2RX ---------------------------------- Bekir Kemal Ataman ArchiMac BBS Sysop & Webmaster <http://www.archimac.org/> _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
